I have never been able to bend my left thumb since birth and it s weird. Doctors say everything that needs to be in my thumb is there, but can t explain why It wont bend. It s irritating and sometimes painful to try to bend it alone, but I can manually bend it with no complications other than slight irritation. Please help! I need to know.
Hi Hope this message finds you in good health.

Nothing to worry about. I hope your question has been answered. If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime. Thanks,Take care,God bless.
